The event follows up on the Proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonised rules on AI and the updated Coordinated Plan on AI, published by the European Commission in April 2021, as well as the previous editions of the European AI Alliance Assembly. The joint efforts of the Slovenian Presidency of the European Council and the European Commission in organising this event mark another important milestone aiming to bring policymaking efforts ‘From Ambition to Action’ and turn Europe into a global hub of excellence and trust in AI.
The conference will unfold around a number of inspirational speeches, panel discussions and breakout sessions featuring experts and policy makers from EU Member States, third countries, international organisations, academia, civil society as well as business representatives. Each of the 2 days will be introduced at the highest-level by the European Commission’s Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager, Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton and Slovenian Minister of Public Administration Boštjan Koritnik.
